India’s growing energy needs have created a demand gap between production and consumption that the country’s oil reserves are no longer expected to fill.

Vaccine-hesitant
Dharavi residents are being lured with freebies like a bar of soap, packaged juice and drinking water
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is finding it hard to conduct its vaccination drive smoothly in some areas of the city. The response is particularly poor in
slums where the civic officials are offering freebies to people to cooperate with them in making the drive successful. At Dharavi, the
BMC is offering a soap, a Tetra Pak of juice and a water bottle to each of those coming forward for vaccination.
The G North assistant commissioner Kiran Dighavkar has set a target of vaccinating at least 1,000 slum dwellers a day, but despite offering the incentives, the centre is not able to complete its daily target.
